Well I have been playing with my Grand Calibur again today, I LOVE the dies that I have but seriously can not wait to get some new ones (luckily my birthday is just around the corner!). For this first card I have used the Spring Chic Tatty Teddy Digital Designer & some Papermania Textured Cardstock and some of my own stash... here is it...
For the stopper I used a 3" and 2" X-Cut scalloped circle punch and I have also added some butterflies that I kept from one of my other dies I have for the Grand Calibur. What do you think?
This card has been entered into the following challenges:
Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog - Bold & Bright Challenge ending 1st March
The Poodles Parlour - Mothers Day or something for a female
Papercrafting Journey - Make It Cute!
Crafters Companion Monthly Challenge - Anything Goes!
Paper Pretties - To use punches or die cuts on your card
Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog - Make a project using die cuts
The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog - Challenge #12 Flower Power
Cute Card Thursday - Winged things!
Here is my second card I made today, another twisted easel, this time from the Tulip Digital Designer.
I have added some large Gem stones to the cake to give it a bit of extra sparkle, colour, dimension & texture.
Don't forget this is my first Friday Comments give away post - so if I reach 30 comments by 15:30pm on Saturday 25th February 2012 I will do my first give away!
Thanks for stopping by & I hope you have enjoyed looking at my new makes!
Happy Crafting!
